IGDA Chapter Meet in Newcastle - 16th April 2009

The event will be at the Centre For Life in Newcastle click here for a map. The event will commence at 6:30pm on the 16th of April 2009, although talks will not begin until 7:30, and it will continue until late. The event is free and you do not need to be an IGDA member to come along, so feel free to invite colleagues etc!

The evening will feature 2 presentations:

The Art Of GTA Chinatown Wars
Ian Bowden, Lead Artist, Rockstar Leeds
"A talk about the sprite based work and other artwork done for GTA Chinatown Wars by Rockstar Leeds..."

And

Communicating Themes and Ideas through Interaction
Steve Lee, Game Designer,Midway Newcastle
"A talk on some of the ways in which games can communicate themes and ideas interactively, and how this relates to games as education, games as art, and hopefully games making loads of money somewhere along the way..."

There will be time to network both before and after the talks.

Most drinks will be available at a subsidised rate of £1 each.

For those attending from Teesside; I may be able to book a minibus if enough people come to warrant one, if interested please e-mail me: Adamgreen@assyria-game.com.

Finally I think a group of people plan to go for a night out in Newcastle after the event, anyone is welcome to attend however for those outside of the Newcastle area you may wish to book a hotel.

A big thanks to the event sponsors, both of these companies sponsored out last event as well and without their continued support we would be unable to run the events!
